  1. Re:yeah on Sysadmins Restore Iraqi ISP · · Score: 5, Informative

    Uh... if you actually read the article, this wasn't sanctioned or supported by the U.S. government, who is attempting to get law and order in Baghdad. These were just a couple of sysadmins who worked for the Hussein government who have been working (sucessfully) to get the state-run ISP back online.

  3. Montana on Black Box in Speeder's Car Helped Conviction · · Score: 1

    Actually, Montana does not have a speed limit... they just say you should just a safe and resonable speed. Well, some idiots in the world consider 114MPH safe and resonable. ;-)

  4. Inaccuracy my ass.. on Black Box in Speeder's Car Helped Conviction · · Score: 1

    Stanziale also argued that Matos had modified his Trans Am, changing the size of the tires and even the engine's software to make it faster. That, he said, would have caused the EDR to make wrong calculations.

    You know, if he did all this, there ain't a doubt in my mind that he was indeed doing 114mph in a residental zone. The big tires and the modifications to the engine's software just show that he had the complete intention of speeding.

  5. Re:Get your facts straight on Sony Announces a Super Playstation 2, the "PSX" · · Score: 1

    Well since you're an anonymous coward with no balls, and no brain, I shouldn't even answer this.

    Unlike you, I see the world in a realistic view. I make my own judgements based upon the information that is provided to me, based upon what I know, and considering the fact that I'm studying Political Science and History, which gives me some credentials in the field, and the fact that I'm a political analyst for a talk radio show... well, quite frankly, I actually know what I'm talking about.

    The BBC is a largely left-wing organization. You say they report news as they see it - well... as they see it is quite bias. I'm not saying that other news organizations aren't bias, because they are, but jesus - do you actually read the news?

    And where's this magic bullet quote from Dep. Sec. Wolfowitz. I'd like to see it, personally. I agree with the war. While Iraq may have not be an immediate threat, Saddam Hussein was/is a madman that needed to be dealt with. He was mucking up any possibility of peace in the middle east, by paying the families of suicide bombers in the West Bank huge sums of cash.

    I don't live in Idado, Michigan, or someplace in rural Montana. In fact, I live in the welfare capital/dump of the south - Louisiana, where corrupt politicans (Edwin Edwards, the late Huey Long, and even David Duke at some point) rule and dead people help keep their jobs.

    So, before you start calling me a radical, gutless coward, get some sort of credentials in the field, don't listen to what everybody tells you - because I certainly don't.

    Al-Jazeera is owned and operated by the government of Qatar, not R. Murdock. And the BBC doesn't have propaganda, you say? I've watched BBC America and listened to BBC Radio and its the biggest bunch of left wing, liberal, horseshit propaganda that I've ever heard or seen.

    When I was a kiddo, the first time I did something it was funny. The second time I did it, my parents told me to stop. The third time, I'd get a spanking. I've seen this post over 5 times word for word in previous topics.... get it?

    Well actually if the car is older than 1980, it probably won't stall due to the lack of computerized components in the car. That's why I love driving a '56 Chevy. :-)

  10. Re:Where's the beef? on MS Says Longhorn To Arrive 2005 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I believe its a bar a lot of MS employees goto. Whistler (codename for XP) is a mountain, and Blackcomb (another codename, i'm unsure of the product) is another mountain. When MS employees go skiing, they usually meet up at the Longhorn lodge, or something like that.

  12. Re:Laws are a disease on The MPAA's Lobbying-Fu is Stronger Than Yours · · Score: 1

    One can only hope that other countries will have more sense than Bush and his cronies.

    Its kinda of funny... the DMCA was signed into law in 1998 by Slick Willy Clinton. Now, the MPAA, which is made up of liberal Hollywood, is lobbying state legislatures, which the federal government has no control over. So before you go bashing Bush, get your facts straight.

  15. Blackboard on Slashback: Discipline, License, Name-calling · · Score: 4, Informative

    We use the Blackboard transaction system here at LSU, and a lot of our food/drink machines with the system are usually offline... now, if you swipe your card in the machine while its offline, it'll display what's supposively stored on the card - your social security #.

    Just something I thought was kind of interesting.

  16. Some of these are pretty stupid... on Stupid Censorship, Stupid Security · · Score: 1

    I spent a good 20 minutes looking at the winners of past Jefferson Muzzle awards and have determined that some of them are really damn stupid, such as :

    -Sports Illustrated in 1994 for refusing to publish an Addidas ad featuring a nude guy in their swimsuit issue. The whole point of the SI swimsuit issue is to see a bunch of semi-nude chicks, I don't think anybody buys it to see a nude guy.
    -CBS in 1996 for not airing a whistleblower interview on 60 Minutes relating to the tobacco industry. The tobacco industry is one of the most powerful industries in this country, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to get into a legal battle with them. If anybody won this award, it should've been the tobacco industry!
    -The lifetime muzzle for Rudy Guiliani. I've been the New York before and during Guiliani... it was much better during Guiliani, with his outrageous permits, etc.
    -CBS for censoring the NBC billboard in Times Square on New Years Eve. Not only is it free advertising for an opposing network, but CBS could technically get sued for copyright infringement.

    Now, I'm not defending any of these people or companies, but gosh, lets use some common sense!

    I can do almost everything this pay service from TiVo provides with my ReplayTV 5040. I can't play MP3s with the ReplayTV, but I'm in a freggin dorm room, so I don't have much of a home entertainment center. I can, though, stream programs to other ReplayTVs (or to DVArchive on my computer), store photos and view them, and program it via the Internet.

    This just continues to prove his point - the Times is unremarkibly against this war and America, comparing the patriots of the revolution to Saddam's martyrs.

    You sad and little naive boy. Go out and get a clue. I never said we should limit freedom, its just my OPINION that the anti-war protesters should shut up now that the war has started. The protests aren't funded, eh?? Well, they may not be, but the people sponsoring them are... that's right, groups such as A.N.S.W.E.R., which gets its funding from the Socialist Workers party. Need a link?

    I don't hate freedom, I'm against the anti-war people. Most of them are uninformed and protesting for things that aren't going to happen, such as the impeachment of Bush. It ain't going to happen! The Iraq campaign is sponsored by Congress. Most of the protesters are being funded by the Socialist Workers party... they support people like Kim Jong Il and Fidel Castro. I'm just saying, at this point in time, protesting is useless. The war will be over by next week... give it up and support the damn President and Prime Minister.

    In my opinion, and the opinion of many others, protesting the war after it has started IS unpatriotic. Now that we have started fighting, people should keep their opinions to themselves, and stand behind the president and the troops; not appeasing the Iraqi government.
